Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day

Behind the Scenes

It was a disaster waiting to happen. There was no other way to describe the scene playing out before her. Her make-up belt weighed heavily on her hips, constantly reminding her of her amazing job on the set. But at 3:00am in the morning, wrapped up in a thick black coat, in below 30 degrees weather, she would have preferred to be in Alaska. It would probably be warmer there than here.

'I'm ready to just die,' she trembled in her coat, feeling even sorrier for the shivering naked actor beside her. Unlike herself, he only wore a flimsy robe. And underneath that. Nothing.

Well.

Except one thing.

Kagome had to bite her lip to halt the laughter that threatened to escape. But her blush gave her away.

Instantly the poor actor beside her smothered her with a soft glare.

"Get your naked ass over here Norm, you're up!" Troy Duffy called out from beside her, effectively piercing her drums. Flinching, Kagome turned to glare at the director and was met with Troy's signature cheeky grin.

"Okay...let's get this over with…" Mark Norman Reedus muttered under his breath, easing the robe from his shoulders. Handing his only piece of sanctuary to his blushing make-up artist.

"It'll be over before you know it!" Kagome cheered as her fingers tightened around the brush handle, speckles of white powder still on her finger tips.

"Yeahhh, Norm, you can definitely rock the cock sock!" Sean Patrick Flanery hollered, slinking up to the shivering Japanese woman, "Might as well go full nude, boy-o! Show us what chu got!"

"Fuck that shit!"

Sean snickered, tossing an arm around Kagome to pull her closer. Kagome buried her cheek into his side, quieting the giggles leaving her. Sean had just finished his own shower scene. Bearing a full fifteen minutes in the freezing cold to film a shower scene of both a full frontal and back, without a 'cock sock.' He was too damn tired to even care, and it's been 2 months and he was readily comfortable with the staff at this point.

And like before when watching Sean shower, Kagome instantly slapped a hand over her eyes as the water began falling. But temptation gave in as she peeked through her fingers. So far, Norman seemed to be able to ignore the 50+ men and some women watching him shower. The soap in his hand was abused beyond reason as he worked it onto his skin.

Suddenly, it didn't seem so cold anymore for Kagome.

"Enjoying the show?"

The whisper in her ear had her toes curling.

Refusing to answer, Kagome simply reached over and pinched the warm flesh beside her. There wasn't a sound, but the arm around her shoulders tightened.

And then it happened.

She could see it, frame after frame.

Norman lost his grip on the soap.

Her jaw slowly dropped, vaguely aware of Sean pulling her even closer as he took in a sharp breath.

Higher and higher, fingers danced, desperate to grab ahold of the rogue object.

She prayed to Kami-sama.

Norman lurched forwards, his eyes wide in surprise.

And then the infamous cock sock flew off.

Flew off.

Suddenly, what Norman tried to avoid, was open for all to stare. With a quick look, Kagome's and Sean's facial expressions said it all. One, with uncensored, hysterical amusement and the other a mix of surprise, horror, and amusement.

A pin could have dropped and echoed like thunder throughout the entire barn. Everyone stared open-mouthed at the embarrassed actor.

"...can someone pick up-" Troy didn't even get to finish his sentence.

"I've got it! I got itttt~" The colorful, cross-dressing, hair-dresser, Jankotsu flew in from the side. Almost diving into the mud to grab the flesh-colored bag on the floor.

If there were any sound-canceling headphones or plugs on set, it could not drown out the laughter that grew.

"Bwuahaha-W-whoWHO IS THAT?!AHAHAHAHA" Sean was dying. Absolutely dying.

And the best part about this?

It was all caught on camera.

There was no way Sean would pass this chance to share this story with the Boondock Saints's fans. And Kagome would laugh full-heartedly every time it would be told.

"Why am I here again?"

"For moral support," Sean whispered from beside her as they peaked through the black curtains, "And, you're our translator."

"You already have a translator," Kagome supplied, quirking an eyebrow at the blonde actor, "Besides, between the two of you, the only person who'd actually need moral support here is Norman. Who knows what you'll say out there today."

Smirking, the darker-haired actor propped his chin on her head, draping his arms over her shoulders and front.

"That should feel insulting, but I'll take that as, 'I'm here for Norm, not you Sean,'" Norman mimicked in a high-pitched and heavily-accented voice.

"I do NOT, sound like that!" She immediately complained, trying to push off his heavy arms, to no avail. A grunt left her as the weight on her head and shoulder increased as he leaned forward, pressing his body against her.

"Stop that, you're going to kill me!"

"Yeah man, any more and she'll get shorter. We can't-" Sean was cut short as the event coordinator called their way for the actors to take stage.

"Well, looks like we're up," Sean leaned forward to catch a quick kiss, scurrying away quickly towards the side of the curtains.

A frustrated sigh escaped her.

"We're just kidding, thanks for being here," Norman gave the short woman a good squeeze and a kiss to the cheek before following Sean.

Kagome smiled after them, taking her own position by the wall, choosing to lean against it and watch the interview from the side.

"So-um, hi! I was just wondering. In the first movie, Ma Macmanus said the older brother was the one with the bigger...thing. Who really is the older brother?"

"Well, for one. Ma Macmanus was just messing with her sons," Norman answered into the microphone with a smirk.

"But, if you really want to know- you can ask our make-up artist over there," Sean lifted his free arm to point directly at the Japanese woman frozen against the wall with a dear-in-headlights look, "That's our lovely girl over there, she's seen it all from the beginning to this movie. Even the shower scene. She could answer that for you."

Kagome slapped a hand over her eyes, falling down into a crouch to hide her face into her knees. She could feel the stares of the audience on her as well as some scalding glares. And to make it worse, there were calls calling her reaction adorable and those asking who was bigger.

Thankfully, one of the actors seemed to pity her. She owed him one.

"Sean. Sean is bigger," Norman responded, glancing at the woman, looking as if she was wishing for a hole in the ground to appear. Grabbing the edge of his hat, he adjusted the black cap before finishing, "But I have bigger balls."

The screams in the room were ear piercing.
